Solution Overview 1 CPE and Connectivity with the LMR Network Typically located at the customer’s premises along with other radio equipment, the FirstNet Ready® Cubic Vocality RoIP gateway provides the key networking function by converting LMR analog signals to IP digital signals for delivery to the FirstNet PTT LTE-based service. The Cubic RoIP gateway is connected to the LMR network by a cable to a donor radio that is tuned to the desired channel. Customers may purchase the gateway, the donor radio and the cable from a FirstNet authorized dealer or through their preferred source.

Connectivity with FirstNet PTT The Cubic RoIP gateway is connected to the FirstNet PTT service using one of two options: 1. A FirstNet Mobile Unlimited Plan (wireless data plan.) A FirstNet Mobile Data Plan for Data Only Devices with First Priority® ensures that traffic sent from the RoIP Gateway receives high priority access and preemption to remain connected to the FirstNet network during times of congestion. Once traffic reaches the FirstNet PTT servers, it is delivered to PTT users with the highest level of prioritization available on the FirstNet network* in accordance with the Mission Critical PTT standard. (*Other than mandated emergency calling.) 2. A wireline Internet connection. When available, wireline backhaul from the RoIP Gateway will use a built-in VPN to deliver highly secure traffic to the FirstNet PTT servers. This option will best serve customers that have marginal wireless performance in their location.

For implementations that require very high availability, redundancy can be achieved with both wireline backhaul* and wireless failover (*when available).

Once your Interoperability networking is established, you can manage your combined talkgroups via FirstNet Central [firstnetcentral.firstnet.com] and the FirstNet PTT admin tool.

Tip: You must have the permission of the FCC licensee to connect the RoIP Gateway to a shared LMR radio network.

Solution Overview 2 Purchase and Set-Up Options Your FirstNet representative can place an order on your behalf for the RoIP gateway, donor radio(s) and cable(s) with our authorized dealer, who will ship your gateway ready for installation with LTE/wireless connectivity. You may also order equipment from select authorized FirstNet dealers or your preferred provider.

For your initial FirstNet PTT LMR Interop implementation, the FirstNet Onboarding team will help you ensure that your FirstNet PTT gateway credentials are available for the configuration of your RoIP gateway and that your FirstNet PTT licenses have been ordered. Our Onboarding service engineers will then gather your requirements before establishing your LMR/FirstNet PTT talkgroups.

With CPE, backhaul, licenses and talkgroups on hand, customers can complete the implementation of their FirstNet PTT LMR Interop solution. Purchase of implementation services for the RoIP gateway from Cubic or from select FirstNet dealers is highly recommended, although you may use your own internal resources. Once complete, users in LMR channels will be able to communicate with FirstNet PTT talkgroups.
